inspired you with his zeal, his enthusiasm for the sake of truth, truth of all kinds. I remember when he was telling on about the meaning of Syādvāda yes samfari fe #ci, stache 12 | HEIFT रूपमेकं धर्मः, अन्यदपि तस्य रूपं विद्या । ये ये सत्यान्वेषणापरासते ते धर्मपराः ।। The car is a wonderful store of informations and I keep it as a treasure being a work of Acharya Maharaj, and a gift of yours, The Uttara Dhyayana Sutra is not less welcome, it affords a pleasant interesting and fruitful reading. I am now anxiously waiting for the remaining parts of the two works Dharma Gitanjali and Neminath, I could not yet enjoy; I hope to read them next week. Many thanks also for your ordering a copy of the Natya Darpana. I am looking for it eagerly. I am glad to hear that Acharya Maharaja's Anniversary has been duly celebrated all over the Jain world. Please let me know beforehand next year the anniversary day that I may join in the celebration from afar. The memory of dear Acharya Maharaj is living here with both of us. We often speak of him, of his kind welcome, of his lofty instructions I wish to know more about his Memorial Temple.
As desired, I send you my photo. My wife has no photo of hers for the present, but we shall have our photo taken next week and shall send it to you duly in time.
There has been some misunderstanding about my pupil Masson Oursel. He has not written a book on Jainism, he has delivered a set of lectures on it last year in one school for higher study of Religion. I shall tell him to write you more details about these lectures.
When you go to Bomby, do not forget that my younger son Dainel Levi is there as French Consul. He lives at the Taj Mahal Hotel. I am sure you will love him and I shall be glad that he knows you. Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
